‘The Prom’ Is Imperfect, But Full of Feel-good Extravagance
When it comes to musicals (and comedies, for that matter) things are very simple for me. Either I hate them with a passion, or I really like them. Indeed, there are some great classics (even…

Force of Nature
Officer Cardillo (Emile Hirsch) started the day off clothed in a bathtub, unable to commit suicide because his PTSD was a little too disturbing. He’s not exactly excited to spend his day evacuating people who don’t want to be evacuated ahead of hurricane in Puerto Rico, and he’s sure as heck not thrilled to be […]

Masculın Femının, Jean Luc Godard, 1967
İlk izlediğimde o kadar nefret ettim ki bu filmden. Hatta bi yanım hala delilerce nefret ediyor Godard’ın kendini beğenmiş erkekliğinden ama ilk bakışta göze çarpan seksizmin öfkesi geçince, toplumsal eleştirilerindeki inceliğe ve ustalığa göz yummak da kolay olmuyor. Gerçekten çok ince çok zekice ve çok orjinal. Ufak bi zekilik bile beni çok heyecanlandırır ve düşündükçe üslubunu […]

Y tu mama también
Y tu mama También. Y tu mama También. Okunuşu ne güzel. Ispanyolcanın güzelliğini unutmuştum, o baskın i’lerle bağrışlarla çağırışlarla yeniden hatırladım şimdi. Hikayesi de öyle, canlı, hareketli çok yükseliyor, duygular çok yoğunlaşıyor. Karakterleri gibi toy başlayıp olgunlaşan ve sonunda buruk biten bir film. Zaten bütün iyi gençlik filmleri biraz buruk olmak zorunda aslında. Bu konuyla ile ilgili […]

Film Review: “Mank” (2020)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 5 out of 5. The beauty of black-and-white cinema is undeniable, yet it’s largely ignored by the new generation who seemingly don’t even want to watch a film that’s over five years old. This is why films like “The Artist” or David Fincher’s “Mank” serve as a reminder that even the entire spectrum […]

Film Review: “The Nest” (2020)
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4 out of 5. We are always amazed when we see a beautiful family passing by. Their charm, ease, self-control, and readiness to share happiness with others is enviable. And their financial success serves as the cherry on top of the cake when they leave their houses. But what happens when the same […]

Film Review: “The Life Ahead” (2020)
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4 out of 5. There is no such promise that life will be easy. Nothing is presented on a silver platter for us. Each opportunity must be earned and even worked hard for. Sadly, when hardship hits the younger generation, they forget about everything not realizing that this is a temporary obstacle they […]

Film Review: “Sound of Metal” (2019)
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4 out of 5. We never understand the true value of our unique ability to see, hear, and smell the scent of life. And we can’t even imagine what one goes through when the ability to hear suddenly begins to disappear. Reuben (Riz Ahmed) is a drummer who travels across the state along […]
